That's a steep price, and it doesn't take into consideration
Graham's potential $10 million-a-year contract.

But a team might do it, especially a contender that considers
itself a player away from a Super Bowl title. Considering the inexactitude of
college scouting, you could argue that Graham would be worth two first-round
draft picks. Wouldn't the Patriots or Seahawks be closer to winning another
Super Bowl with Graham in their lineup next season than whoever they would select
with the No. 29 or No. 32 overall pick next season?

Depending on which teams offer Graham, the Saints should strongly
consider letting Graham walk and garnering the draft-pick compensation. I
respect Graham's talent, but if we've learned anything about the Saints offense
it's that Drew Brees is its only irreplaceable part. Perimeter players
like Deuce McAllister, Reggie Bush, Jeremy Shockey, Robert Meachem, Devery
Henderson and Chris Ivory have come and gone over the years and the offense
continues to roll along.

Losing Graham would undoubtedly hurt. But gaining two more
potential starters is certainly something to consider, especially when you look
at the Saints' roster holes at cornerback and along the offensive line.

What's more, the club is already cash-strapped and will be hamstrung even more with Graham and his mega-deal on the books.

If you believe the Saints are on the cusp of winning another
Super Bowl, then you keep Graham at all costs. But if you think they're more
than a player or two away, then taking the extra draft picks, reloading in 2014
and making a serious Super Bowl run in 2015 and beyond is the way to go.

What do you think? Put your GM hat on tell me what you'd do if some team makes a contract offer to Graham in the weeks ahead.
